    I'm still working on building my shop but have no other place to store my lumber, so I have about 5,000 board feet dead stacked in the middle of the floor. I have to work around it to finish the building construction. Another 3,000 board feet in my shed, and a couple more thousand BF still stacked and stickered in piles in the yard. I feel your pain of having to sort through it all, but also appreciate the feeling of having what you need without having to go buy it. I am also a huge fan of Shaker furniture, and most of my stash of cherry is earmarked for a dining room suite (china hutch, sideboard, and trestle-style expandable table - wife wants to seat 12!).

    Beautiful work Mike!!! :yes: There's just something about making something from your own trees isn't there? Being able to select the grain you want because you know where it came from in the log.. Yeah! :thumbs: Just awesome brother. :handshake:

    Looks great, Mike. I especially like the curly maple tables. Phenomenal.
